KhaosT's SimpleVM is a Swift wrapper for amework: This does roughly the same thing as vftool, but has a friendlier GUI.So, at least one can SSH/VNC into guests! Issuesįolks have reported problems (I believe with the pty setup) when running in tmux. I end up with a host-side bridge100 network interface with IP 192.168.64.1 and my guests get 192.168.64.x addresses which are reachable from the host. (Rolls eyes)įortunately, the "NAT" default works fine for the outgoing direction, and even permits incoming connections - it appears to be kernel-level NAT from a bridged interface instead of the user-level TCP/IP stuff as used in QEMU. This seems to be saying that one requires a paid developer account and to ask nicely to be able to use this OS feature. To request this entitlement, contact your Apple representative. This entitlement is restricted to developers of virtualization software. The bridging requires the binary to have the .networking entitlement, and Apple docs helpfully give this note: The -b option uses a VZBridgedNetworkDeviceAttachment to configure a bridged network interface instead of the default 'NAT' interface.

I ended up using debootstrap ( -foreign) to install to a disc image on a Linux box.

The debian install kernel does not have virtio drivers, unfortunately. Note that amework provides all IO as virtio-pci, including the console (i.e. Image-5.9: Linux kernel ARM64 boot executable Image, little-endian, 4K pages When starting vftool, you will see output similar to: Disc images are raw/flat files (nothing fancy like qcow2). For example, -d foo -d bar -c blah will create three virtio-blk devices, /dev/vda, /dev/vdb, /dev/vdc attached to foo, bar and blah respectively. The discs are attached in the order they are given on the command line, which should then influence which device they appear as. Multiple disc images can be attached by using several -d or -c options. The pseudo terminal (pty) approach gives a useful interactive console (particularly handy for setting up your VM), but stdin/stdout and immediate startup are more useful for launching VMs in a script. The -t option permits the console to either use stdin/stdout (option 0), or to create a pseudo terminal (option 1, the default) and wait for you to attach something to it, as in the example below. The (current) default is 1 CPU, 512MB RAM, "console=hvc0", NAT-based networking, no discs or initrd and creates a pty for the console. Only the -k argument is required (for a path to the kernel image), and all other arguments are optional. The following command-line arguments are supported: I haven't tested whether this binary will then work on other people's machines.

The Makefile applies a code signature and required entitlements without an identity, which should be enough to run on your own machine. Install the commandline tools (or Xcode proper) and run make.

It should be one click, though you may have to set up your (free) developer ID/AppleID developer Team in the "Signing & Capabilities" tab of the project configuration. Consider using VNC into your VM, which is quite usable. Note also that amework does not currently provide public interfaces for framebuffers/video consoles/GUI, so the resulting VM will have a (text) console and networking only. This is not a GUI-based app, and this configuration is provided on the command-line.

Tested on an M1-based Mac (running arm64/AArch64 VMs), but should work on Intel Macs too (to run x86 VMs). Attached disc images, CDROM images (AKA a read-only disc image), or neither.It's intended to be the simplest possible invocation of this framework, whilst allowing configuration for: All of the hard work and actual virtualisation is performed by amework - this wrapper simply sets up configuration objects, describing the VM. Vftool runs Linux virtual machines with virtio block, network, entropy and console devices. Here lies a really minimalist and very noddy command-line wrapper to run VMs in the macOS Big Sur amework.
